[The most difficult choice, what will the heroine do.I know that everyone’s votes are usually reserved for other authors, so as long as everyone subscribes and supports me, I will be very satisfied~~~~~]

The impact of the catastrophe was heavy, and it also made Sioux City even more closed.Lu Xiuyue, who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, has never heard of it. This is the father of the Lu family who is in a hurry. He runs towards Su Yu's house every three days, and wants her to help find out.

After the Chinese New Year, the weather is slowly getting hotter, and the sun in the evening is slightly dim.Su Yu was still having a little water in the yard to cook for the family when he saw Father Lu coming in from the door again.

"Da Yu, are you cooking?" Father Lu's face was full of anxiety, but seeing Su Yu's mood, he couldn't directly express his request.

Su Yu saw that the opposite person was an elder after all, and he had to respect him no matter what, so he got up and greeted with a smile: "So it's Dad, did you come here for my second brother's business? I have already sent someone to the capital It will take a long time to inquire about the news, father, don't worry too much."

Father Lu also knew that Su Yu seemed to be very busy. He ran outside every three days, and he didn't know who he was meeting.But besides Su Yu, his future daughter-in-law, he really doesn't know who to turn to for help. Seeing that Lu Xiuyue has been away from home for a year, there is still no news at all, how can he let him Don't think badly!

Seeing an outsider coming, Su Bai on the side slowly put down the things in his hands, and walked up to Su Yu's side to comfort him: "Father, no news is the best news. We haven't received any news. It's just because the drought is too severe this year, and the gates of the city have been blocked all the time, so those who deliver letters can't get in. This time, my eldest sister sent someone out, and it won't be long before there will be news, so don't worry."

Su Yu also nodded. Although she really didn't want to marry Lu Xiuyue, she was someone she cared about after all, and she wanted to help her anyway.The only blame is that she was dazzled by the severe drought last year. All she was thinking about was how to find more food, and she had long forgotten about Lu Xiuyue.

Hearing what Su Yu and Su Bai said, Father Lu calmed down a little.He believed that his son would definitely come back.

"If there is any news, I will definitely notify my father as soon as possible. Don't worry." Su Yu said with a smile again.At this time, she is stronger than anyone else.Because she knew that she was responsible for the lives of the entire Sioux City people, as well as those outside the city who were knocking on the city gate to come in.If it worked, she hoped everyone would survive.

As for Lu Xiuyue, the people she sent did go out, but it has been almost two months, and there is still no news, and I don't know if there is any danger on the way.

After sending off Father Lu, Su Yu walked back into the house, looking at Su Gu'an who was frowning on the kang, feeling worried.

"Father, are there no more seeds to plant at home?" Su Yu put down the things in his hand and asked.

Su Gu'an nodded: "Last year, because I felt that the drought might not be so serious, every family planted land. I don't know who listened to the advice of the Golden Landlord, but for the first time, they didn't come to collect the rent. Son, so when it comes to autumn, everyone will have some harvests. But this year is not good, you see that the riverbed is almost completely dry, even if there are seeds, this group of people can't take them out to plant the land Yes, our family is the same."

Su Yu also knows these reasons. This year is different from last year. Last year, there was still some harvest, but if the drought continues this year, it must be white.The imperial court also panicked this time, and continued to allocate funds downwards, but perhaps less than three-tenths of what could fall into Su Yu's hands, and even if he had money, how could he transport it to buy food?There are refugees outside the city.

Just when Su Yu was in a trance, a messenger suddenly ran outside the door. The Su family was no longer surprised by this kind of thing, and they all knew that Su Yu always had a lot of things to do.

Su Yu thought it was some new notice from the imperial court, and after getting the letter, he went back to his room, but took the letter in his hand and browsed it quickly before realizing that it was a letter about Lu Xiuyue.

She looked at the contents of the letter and was a little lost.The letter said that Lu Xiuyue was already in high school and married the daughter of the current minister.

Although she knew that she didn't want to marry Lu Xiuyue, the current result still made her somewhat unacceptable.Is this the man who vowed to protect himself and marry him?To marry another woman in the blink of an eye?What kind of oath is that?What angered Su Yu the most was not that he betrayed himself, even if he married ten or eight others outside, Su Yu would not feel anything wrong.Su Yu just knew that the entire Su city is in dire straits now, there are refugees who want to go into exile outside, and the country of Zhao over there has always been watching, just waiting for Su city to collapse without attack.

Now he, Lu Xiuyue, can actually stay so peacefully in the capital, doesn't he know that his family is still here in Sucheng!Isn't he worried?
Su Yu shoved the letter into a ball, threw it on the ground fiercely, and said coldly to the letter: "Lu Xiuyue, just pretend that I never knew you."

After calming down for a long time, the mood finally eased. Su Yu called Su Bai and told him, "Go and tell Dad, there is still no news about Lu Xiuyue, let him wait a little longer."

Su Bai nodded: "Then I'll talk about it now, just wait for me for a while."

Su Yu lay on the bed, a little upset, the cold wind outside the window was still fierce, although the permafrost began to melt, but this year there was no land for planting, how should he explain to the people of Su City?
In an instant, she felt very tired. Why did she put such a big burden on her body, just because she was the richest man in Suzhou City?At the beginning, Chen Yebai really shouldn't be scrupled. If only he could leave with his family and find a place with beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River to live in. Why worry so much every day.

One wave was not calm, another wave rose again. Before Su Yu had rested for a long time, he heard another urgent sound of horseshoes outside, and the news that the man brought made Su Yu even more sad: Refugees are rioting.

This is no small matter.In order to take care of the people of Sioux City, Su Yu blocked the city gate at the beginning of last winter, just waiting for the severe drought to pass a little bit, but now, this strategy is no longer feasible, if the city gate is closed Open it, and the entire Sioux City will be in dire straits.

"Prepare the carriage right away, I'll go and have a look." After getting dressed, Su Yu didn't care that it was still late at night, so he ordered the carriage to be prepared and rushed towards the city gate.

It just so happened that Su Bai had just returned from Father Lu's house at this time, and seeing Su Yu's hasty appearance, he knew that something serious had happened, so he followed Su Yu without saying a word.

But Su Yu didn't agree: "You are still young, you can wait for me at home, those refugees are crazy, it's not a joke!" Su Yu shouted in a hurry.

However, Su Bai grabbed the wood on the back of the carriage. Others didn't know what his action meant, but Su Yu knew it.He clearly meant that if you won't let me follow, then I'll hold the carriage and you won't even think about going.

In desperation, Su Yu could only let go: "Then you come up, but you must promise me that when you get there, no matter what happens, you will not do anything without my order."

"Okay, I promise you." The ten-year-old Su Bai made the promise to Su Yu firmly and seriously, like a little adult.

Su Gu'an and Wang Sang also vaguely felt that Su Yu must take care of this matter, although they didn't know what position Su Yu should take to go forward.But this time, the trip was more dangerous than good, how could Su Gu'an and Wang Sang feel at ease to let Su Yu go, but when they rushed out to stop them, Su Yu had already taken Su Bai into the carriage and drove away.

Hurry up, but when we reach the city gate, it is already an hour later.Climbing up the tower, Su Yu couldn't see how many refugees were standing below in the dark night. He only knew that the torches in their hands were too bright, like a sea of ​​flames, dazzled Su Yu's eyes.

Lord Lin, the county guard, was already standing there. When he saw Su Yu coming, he was overjoyed for a moment, and quickly followed Su Yu and walked to the front.

"Don't panic." Su Yu's voice was extraordinarily calm at this time, because she knew that there was nothing else she could do besides calming down now, and being in a hurry would only make things worse, "Master Lin, you first agree with me. Let me tell you, what happened?"

Mr. Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Now that the number of refugees in this city is increasing, I really don't know what bad consequences will be produced if the quarrel continues.

"Look at the city, there are refugees, and they come from all directions. Just because they heard that there is food in the city of Suo, and there is no starvation, they recognize us and insist on entering the city. Come to receive relief, but now, we have very little food left! If every household eats porridge, it can barely last for another half a year. If so many people come in, not only the food will not be enough, but even the public security will become a problem. "Master Lin quickly analyzed the situation, and now he can only count on this woman.

Su Yu sighed and said: "It seems that other cities can no longer control their people. If this continues, I'm afraid either the imperial court will come to suppress it, or the Great Zhao will send troops to attack. I don't want to see either of these The result is here."

Lord Lin nodded and said yes, "Yes, but now these people are the citizens of Da Chen after all, the defense of Sucheng is impenetrable, if we want to defend, they will not be able to enter, but look at the current posture, they are clearly We are going to attack the city!"

Su Yu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You told me to think of a way, it's come to this juncture, and I can't cause unnecessary casualties anymore."
